WINE 7006 - Wine Retailing

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 2 - 2022

This course has two major objectives. Firstly, it addresses the placement of wine product into retail channels. It examines the structure of global distribution systems, multichannel retailing, creating channel partnerships and understanding logistics from the perspective of a wine producer. Secondly, this course addresses depletion ? the process of helping consumers and customers to become attracted to a wine, the concept of consumption occasion and building consumer-driven supply chains. We look from the perspective of the present challenges in retailing and into the future of wine retailing. The course introduces students to the reality of selling wine into a highly competitive global beverage alcohol sector. Wine retailers are spoilt for choice, but there are a range of opportunities to focus on tightly targeted opportunities, to tell unique stories and to collaborate to succeed. It addresses a range of supply chains from the complex and sophisticated Chinese, Canadian and USA markets, the worlds 8 monopoly wine markets, South East Asia and European markets. Finally, it covers multichannel retail concern through a presentation of distribution channels and strategies and retail metrics to measure retail performance.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
